This is the most ridiculous event. World Hijab day?

It's cool to be a slave. /S

Next they'll have a practice Shehada day--but once you've said it, you're in!

Before the rise of Islam in the west as I was growing up seeing a woman in a scarf was no big deal. Never gave it a second thought but now it comes with a host of crap attached to it.

> The terrorists enroll as students in universities to find stupid white women to marry for citizenship and to recruit stupid students to fight for ISIS. Been going on for years.

Probably not his dad anyway...probably FMD because their skin tone and type seems to be a better match. BHO Sr. Is quite a bit darker with a smoother sheen which BHO Jr doesn't seem to have. It might explain why his grandad took him over to visit FMD so often too...

> I wonder how many of these volunteers would allow their labias and clitorises to be cut completely off?

Wait till the idiots find out that the Muzzies are going to use bolt cutters without any pain medication while they pin them down. By then it will be too late to renounce their faux faith without getting their heads cut off. Oh well it will be a way for the others to learn their lesson the hard way and they'll deserve it.

Wow ... who knew that oppression could be so heartwarming?

Akkad also stated that Muslim women are not forced to wear a hijab, and her personal goal for the event was to allow people to see that.

BS.

Those women want to be Muslim and wear the garb, send them to a few middle eastern countries. Once they get a taste of how their men treat them over there they will switch back to baseball hats rather quickly. My wife is a Christian but does she need to display it to everyone who walks near or passes her by?

“World Hijab Day” is obviously a day for non-Muslims to wear a hijab in “solidarity” with Islam. What else could it mean?

Exactly! They must be laughing at how easy a target the left wingers are.

I have walked home from campus 92 times since enrolling at UNM. Only once was I so hyper-aware of my appearance that I held tight to the pepper spray on my keychain. Oh, I forgot to mention: It was also the first time I tried on a hijab.

A properly brainwashed drone wrote this.

Maybe she could point to all the LEGITIMATE crimes perpetrated against hijab wearing women that caused her such angst.

Imagine being the 50 yr old wife and your hubby brings in the 28 yr old. You get to do the house chores while the 28 yr old...well, you figure it out.

Well, that actually might just be a win for her (the 50 year old).

From everything I've read about muslim culture and men, ummmm, no thanks.

The irony and hypocrisy of the left is breath-taking.

Or even the flat parts of the San Fernando Valley. I bet if I wore a hijab and walked North up Reseda I’d be fine. If I wore a MAGA hat I’d be attacked. I do t want to hear ANYONE say Muslim women experience harsh treatment in their hijabs. BS. The only violence is against Trump supporters, by the most dangerous populations here (like illegals and gang bangers).

Interesting. And Orthodox Jews cover their hair as soon as they are married, though some of the wigs (sheitels) they use are as pretty. Women’s hair is supposed to be provocative and make men think of wanting them.

There may be something to it. There is an expression I’ve forgotten in Italian that translates as “17 from behind, 70 from the front,” and here in the bedroom community of LA, there are a LOT of these. Women who from the back are slim with long lustrous hair and youthful clothing, and when they turn around, their face is pulled against their skulls with implants and injections everywhere. But hey, the hair is awesome.

Some women just have a burning desire to be a slave.

It’s interesting while talking with women who wear the entire burka, in private without a man around they are a different person. They are sweet and kind and quite beautiful. But, it’s wonderful to see their true personality show.

But a little scarf is hardly anything compared to full facial covering. The woman discussed here are only covering their hair. Heck, I wear my winter scarf like that all the time when I forget my hat.

The UNM spokesperson should realize that it is not the hijab that generates judgment and discrimination. It is the philosophy behind it. The left seems to have no ability to deal with complexities of issues. Revolutionaries never do.
